The mothers of Launching Place Primary School spent a special afternoon with their kids for a Mothers Day celebration on Thursday 11 May.
An afternoon of scones and activities awaited, and students shared what they love about their mums and what they will do for them on Mother’s Day.
Braxton met with his mum Dara at school and said he will bring her coffee in bed on Mother’s Day.
“My mum is really good at giving hugs, and I will buy her a present from the Mother’s Day stall and hide it under her bed,” he said.
Chelsea and Emma sat together with their mums Nicky and Laura to enjoy a scone.
Chelsea said she likes that her mum looks after her.
“We are going to Pancake Parlour for Mother’s Day because it is also my birthday,” she said.
Emma said her mum is special to her.
“We might go get our nails done together and then go for brunch with our family”
Sisters Beth and Skye had their mum Sarah come and join them for the event.
Skye said on Mother’s Day they will also be spending it with their nanny.
“I like spending time with my mum, and I most like to go to different places with her.”
During the week, a Mother’s Day stall was held at Launching Place Primary School for students to buy a gift for their mum or a special friend.
Jess, Ali, Ashleigh and Esme were thanked for their efforts in organising and setting up the stall, while Mex from Yarra Valley Bath and Body, Chloe from Van Berkel Distribution and Country Garden Nursery were issued a message of appreciation for their contributions to the stall from the school’s Parents and Friends.
Launching Place Primary School will also be holding a special event for Education Week on Friday 19 May.
